EHS Coordinator Cover Letter Sample

Dear Hiring Manager,

As an EHS Coordinator with 4 years of experience in food manufacturing settings, I apply with enthusiasm for this opportunity.

I am currently the Interim EHS Coordinator at Linklater & Sons, a $27m/annum seafood processing plant in California. Mirroring your requirements, I lead a team of 6 EHS staff and am responsible for developing EHS programs, procedures, training, work practices, and controls. I review incident investigations, ensure EHS policies & procedures are followed, and develop strategic communication plans to provide guidance on EHS processes and activities. I also closely monitor EHS trends and legislation and recommend policy and procedural improvements company-wide.

This builds upon my previous role as Linklater’s Safety Coordinator, where I inspected work areas, safety equipment, and machinery to ensure compliance with company, state, and federal EHS policies and regulations. I helped to reduce safety incidents by 36% within 12 months by overhauling safety communications to make these easier for workers to interpret and apply.

In addition to my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, I possess a Diploma in Occupational Health and Safety, a CIH Certification from The American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH), and am a Certified Safety Professional (CSP).

I have enjoyed my time at Linklater & Sons. As my current role is on an interim contract basis, I now seek a permanent opportunity with an organization where I can make a meaningful impact.

Please find attached my résumé for your consideration. Thank you very much for your time. I look forward to hearing from you regarding next steps.

Yours sincerely,

Martin Lambert
